My 91 Cherokee has the typical oil blow by. It has a bout 180K on the clock. I want to install an air intake catch can to catch the oil instead of having it ruin my air filter. Has anybody ever installed one on a Jeep (4.0) with a stock intake setup?

I'd try cleaning the two vents on the valve cover first before attempting that...

I believe there is at least one writeup over at naxja.org forums about it. They use an inline filter like you would use for a compressor.
